Seated guard pass entry
Also known as Seated Guard Engagement — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: common instructional language
Informal — entering against a seated guard
Seated guard pass entry is a colloquial name for seated guard engagement — framing the engagement as the entry phase of passing a seated guard.
Etymology. “Seated guard” names the position; “pass entry” frames the engagement as the way into a pass. The phrasing is informal, treating the engagement as preparation rather than a phase in its own right.
Mechanics. Before any pass, the passer must manage the seated player’s feet and legs; clearing or pinning the foot line is the first requirement, since engaging a seated guard with active feet walks straight into its hooks and frames.
Cross-reference. “Hand-fight pass,” “Flattening the seated player,” and “Sit-up guard engagement” are sibling aliases. Full mechanical coverage on Seated Guard Engagement.
